KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Welcome to Chico Children's Museum

We are located at 325 Main Street in Downtown Chico, CA

Enriching early childhood learning through inclusive, accessible, hands-on experiences that celebrate curiosity, connect families and create community

CCM is a space for children and their grown-ups to connect & learn through play. 

💙 To Make Everyone’s Experience More Enjoyable, We Ask:

  • 👩‍👧 Adult-to-Child Ratio: Please adhere to our 1 adult per 5 children requirement.

  • 👀 Supervision: Regardless of age, children must be supervised at all times.

  • 🚫 Adults Without Children: Adults are not permitted in the building without children.

  • 👟 Footwear: Shoes must be worn at all times, except in clearly marked areas.

  • 🤒 Health & Wellness: Please do not visit if you or your child are feeling sick.

  • 🥤 Food & Drinks: Food and beverages (other than water) are not allowed inside the museum, except in Snack Alley or a reserved celebration room.

    • Water is always OK — we have a refillable water station available.

    • If you need special accommodations, please ask the front desk.

  • 👶 Strollers: Please park strollers in the hallway — ask the front desk for directions.
    (Why? Our littlest visitors can’t tell the difference between a stroller and an exhibit!)

    • If you need special accommodations, please ask our staff.

  • 🍬 Gum: Please do not allow children to chew gum inside the museum.

  • 📱 Electronics: Cell phones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices are discouraged, as they can limit interactive play.

  • 🐾 Service Animals: Service animals are always welcome.

CCM will not tolerate inappropriate, rude, abusive, or destructive behavior — including demeaning, harassing, or foul language.
